My Make at Home Iced Matcha Latte

-

Ingredients:
Milk of choice (I use organic unsweetened almond or raw whole milk, but any other works.

2 tsp. Organic matcha powder (it should be just the matcha powder without added sweeteners or other additives)

Hot water

1-2 Tbsp pure maple syrup

1 tsp. vanilla extract 

Ice

Instructions:

Fill cup 2/3-3/4 with ice. Steep some water till it boils. In a separate cup or bowl, preferably ceramic (not plastic), mix 2 tsp. of organic matcha and and about 2 Tbsp- 1/4 cup hot water.(Enough so the matcha can steep, this is how the caffeine gets activated). Add the maple syrup and vanilla to the matcha shot and whisk together well. Pour your milk into your glass with ice, leaving some room for the matcha shot. I always leave a little extra room just in case, and add a little more milk if needed. Its your matcha, so taste it, add some extra maple syrup or vanilla if you like and enjoy!

* Note: sometimes if I'm needing some extra protein on the go or pre/post workout, I'll add a scoop or two of collagen powder. One of my favorite brands is the Vital Proteins. You can find it it in the link below👇

The Importance of Setting Goals in Your Life

     I know you might be thinking, "Oh no... not another one of these fluff talks encouraging me to set these  unrealistic expectations for myself, that I'll never carry through or accomplish..." I get it, we've all  screwed up whether it be New Years resolutions or just trying to stick to our workout and diet plans. But  we're not here to talk about the fluff, we are here talk about realistic ways to keep ourselves accountable,  and the reason behind why it works. Let's jump in.     First, we have to ask, what do goals even do? The honest answer is nothing. Nothing unless we write  them down and carry them out in our day-to-day life. Sure, anyone can think, "I really want to start  working out and going to the gym so I can be strong." That is a wonderful goal, but, if you don't actually  make time during your week to go and workout it doesn't benefit you. It stays empty, void in the back of  your mind.     So, w...
